they didn't take full advantage of mitt romney's lack of experience with foreign policy. in helping to connect the dots between an inexperienced person with foreign policy and the domestic economy. he could have connected the dots better between george bush rush sbug w rushing into war and he didn't do that. this is a man who had to flee, basically, the states. he characterized as he decided to go to the olympics. but the truth of the matter is he had a sub-40% approval rating when he was leaving office. it wasn't as if he opted to leave, voters were kicking him out. he did not do a good job. president obama pointed that ouou out. he spent too much time on taxes and bain capital. the other thing i think they did not do well was connect the dots with women's rights. they spent too much time on abortion and contraceptives and not enough time pointing out the democrats putting forth with women. he didn't do a good job pointing that out. >> okay. lz and anna, don't go anywhere. we're going to ask each of you what the mitt romney campaign did right and what they did wrong. thi

policy spokesperson because he was attacked by his opponent for cooperating with president obama on national security. they're nominee actually said, i couldn't make this up, that his happiest day was when he was imposing his opinion on someone else and he wanted the people to send him to washington, so that he could have more partisanship in washington, d.c. now if you want it, you can have it. the people of indiana don't want it, congressman joe donnelly his opponent was ahead by 11 points in the most recent polls, you're going to change that. but it will all be for naught if you reward him by not electing president obama. if you want cooperation over conflict, if you want people to walk through the same door and sit down at the same table and behave like grown-ups, you have to re-elect president obama.

obama had what the public regards as generally a pretty successful foreign policy. libya proved to be one place they could go in, because there was a -- there was a mishandling of the events right after the assassination, the murder of the ambassador. they didn't know what was happening. they got out some wrong information. but the idea that there was some kind of purposeful, you know, cover-up, that there was deception or that there was some kind of treasonous behavior, many of these implications go beyond clumsiness and incompeten incompetence. it is fair to say there was a fair amount of clumsiness and incompetence. to go to deceit and deception and treason, it seems to me there is absolutely no evidence for this. we don't know whether there was -- whether it was fair to say they were prepared for this. remember, we have 265 consulates and diplomatic postings around the world. on any given week, 25 of them asked for more security and, you know, you got limited resources, you make decisions you can in retrospect we should have reinforced benghazi. but in retrospec

governor romney did pretty well in this last presidential debate, which was about foreign policy, but in many ways that debate was about being the commander in chief and being able to lead, and i think that's what we'll see president obama try to portrait over the next 48 hours, and i think governor romney is going to try to do that as well. >> all right. we'll be watching closely. thank you, mark. good to see you. >>> live pictures from atlantic city, new jersey, where hurricane sandy is pounding the coast. the eye of the storm expected to make landfall there between 8:00 and midnight eastern tonight. as we mentioned, president obama, he is cancelling campaign events to stand by those being hit by this beast of a storm. >> my message to the governors as well as to the mayors is anything they need, we will be there. >> we'll hear the president live later in the hour about 20 minutes or so is when he is scheduled to speak from the white house. and some difficult ones. but, through it all, we've persevered, supporting some of the biggest ideas in modern history. so why should our annive
